"A Kentish man born," according to Wood, was born about 1551, and became a Commoner of Magdalen Hall, Oxford, in 1578. In 1595 he was elected Proctor of the University," being then esteemed a "man of parts, and an eloquent preacher." He afterwards held the living of Witham in Essex, and became Archdeacon of Ely. He was the author of some theological and polemical treatises, and died in 1616.
